Knob Creek Single Barrel Program Evolves with Cask-Strength Offerings

Suntory Global Spirits added Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Cask Strength to its Single Barrel Select Program.

The updated offering empowers retailers to curate exclusive barrels of uncut, unfiltered Knob Creek^® Bourbon and Rye, providing an incomparable single barrel experience, the company said.

Bottled directly from the barrel, with no water added, Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Cask Strength delivers signature bold flavor fans have come to love, in its purest form. Ranging in proof from approximately 110–130 for Bourbon and 100–120 for Rye, each barrel delivers a distinct and full-flavored experience, honoring the legacy of Booker Noe, the founder of Knob Creek, and his vision for Knob Creek to deliver on what bourbon was meant to be.

"When my grandfather created Knob Creek^®, he set out to make a whiskey that stood out—bold, robust, and no shortcuts," said Eighth Generation Master Distiller, Freddie Noe. "With our Single Barrel Select Program, we pay tribute to that legacy by offering fans the chance to experience Knob Creek in its most authentic form—uncut and unfiltered, creating the most unadulterated single barrel selection in Knob Creek's history."

The single barrel experience includes a visit to the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Ky, where participants will enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes distillery experience, including barrel selection inside historic warehouse K, thieving whiskey from multiple barrels, comparatively tasting to find the right barrel pick and concluding with a curated dining experience at The Kitchen Table. For retailers not able to travel to Kentucky, the brand will bring the experience to the market with remote selection sample kits. Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Cask Strength will be available at participating retailers nationwide at a suggested retail price of $69.99 for a 750mL bottle.
